Renewal......really ?
 

Dear F-2 Speedy,

Your access to the paid subscription "Platinum Member" is about to expire in 2 days.

If you have selected a recurring subscription you will be automatically billed for the renewal, else to renew this subscription you must visit https://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/payments.php

If you do not extend your subscription, access will be removed.

All the best,
Offshoreonly.com

So no one else thinks this is a little rude, in your face, payup or you will be removed......8 year paying member supporting this site from the fist time i joined, I dont like the way this tast's

Only the "Platinum" access will be removed.

IMO, very poorly worded from IB's automated system.
It should first be thanking you for supporting OSO as a Platinum Member and then graciously asking for your continued support.

speedy,i will tell you something that happened to me.a member misrepresented a carb he had for sale and i called him out on it.he complains to a moderator [not griff] and i got a time out.that was the end of me being a paying member,also i don,t offer a lot of tech help like i used to.the funny thing is the member who imo is dishonest is always peddling his used up junk on oso.these days you must be very careful about buying anything from a member you don,t really know.

Received the same message yesterday, but what the heck, i dont care how it is written, i just renewed i get acces to what i need, that was my goal after now ... 15-16 years !

I've noticed a decline in your posting in Tech help, but have always respected your input as an engine builder, pretty clear who know's their stuff and who doesn't

thank you for the kind words.

You were one of the guys I could always trust when giving advice that it would be right.

Its All About the Money these days....

I'm not concerned about the cost, it just sounds like ( payupsucker )...:D... heck a nice lunch will cost you more than a years membership
